1. Position the Boundary Wire Lay out the Boundary Wire using your planned boundary and test the system BEFORE burying the wire or attaching it to an existing fence This will make any layout changes easier Work carefully A nick in the wire insulation can diminish the signal strength and create a weak area where your pet can escape Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within 5 feet of electrical wires neighboring containment systems telephone wires television or antenna cables or satellite dishes may cause an inconsistent signal If you must cross any of these do so at 90 degree angles perpendicularly 3A Boundary Wire If separating the wire by at least 10 feet from a neighboring containment system s wire does not reduce the inconsistent signal contact the Customer Care Center at 1 800 732 2677 To Twist the Boundary Wire Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your pet to cross over that area safely 3B To ensure the signal is cancelled it is recommended that you cut and splice the Boundary Wire between each twisted section Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal You can twist your own wire by cutting two equal lengths of Boundary Wire supplied and twisting them together Anchor one end of the wires to something secure and A insert the other end in a power drill Pull the wire taut The drill enables you to twist the i wire quickly Twist the Boundary Wire 10 to 12 times per foot to canc2.
